Tom Lane	e9c936ff38	Remove rangechecks on errno; just call strerror unconditionally. This ... eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc. The downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway, and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke. This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss, and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	5508ef30e2	Make checks for global variables (sys_nerr, timezone) safe against getting ... optimized away completely.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	c3f9371956	Add configure check for sys_nerr, to end all discussions.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	dfda21e7a6	Add configure check to see whether <string.h> and <strings.h> may both be ... included, and then include <strings.h> if so. Several systems already needed <strings.h> anyway. Some new systems that claim to conform to the Unix 9x "standard" do not declare str[n]casemp() in string.h, and C99 compilers will not like that.	26 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	664ce79dd8	Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>. ... Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!). Use Autoconf check for exe extension. This also avoids inheriting the value of $(X) from the environment.	26 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	06cd0f1a32	Substituted new configure test for types of accept() ... Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming adjustments. Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests. Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl. And it breaks equally often. :(	26 years ago
